From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shambhala Sun is a bimonthly magazine offering teachings from the Buddhist and other contemplative traditions, with an emphasis on applying these principles and practices to everyday life. The magazine, originally called the Varjadhatu Sun (1978-1990), was founded by Chogyam Trungpa. The magazine's online archive includes a substantial amount of previously published articles and essays, all free to the public.
In January 2007 the Shambhala Sun had a circulation of 75,000 copies [1].
